\"Communicate.06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a great day at Communicate.06<\/a>, thanks to Ewan<\/a> for inviting me (and for organising the whole thing etc. etc.)<\/p>\n

Peter Ford<\/a> gave a great keynote ending with a performance of Taylor Mali<\/a>‘s poem http:\/\/www.taylormali.com\/index.cfm?webid=51<\/a> (MP3 of Taylor Mali reading the poem<\/a>) I am sure Ewan<\/a> had a mp3 of Peter reading on his blog, but I can’t find it.<\/p>\n

Peter quoted me, which made me feel pretty good:<\/p>\n

In the education timeline blogs have only been around for a millimeter or so. The possibilities are endless and many still to be discovered. It seems to me far to early to decide what a blog should or should not be used for. Certainly no one should be laying down rules just yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Modern Languages teachers seem pretty nice too, even though I don’t speak their language.<\/p>\n

The thing that Peter said that interested me most was …every now and then be creative…<\/em> .<\/p>\n

As well as giving a really entertaining\/educational keynote, he dotted lots of is and crossed the ts of using ict in an adventurous way, letting us know that it is ok to do just a bit.<\/p>\n

There was also a group of student, who where associated with PIE<\/a> recording video and audio very unobtrusively in the background. I guess they have be involved in quite a lot of creative ICT, they did an excellent job of providing a video to close the conference and a great example of well judged confidence when they were speaking (I hope some of that confidence comes from the creative use of ict).<\/p>\n

The really great thing about how the conference was arranged was the built in extended support that will be available to the folk attending on the MFLE <\/a> site which fits in well with Peter’s Why I am not a blogvangelist?<\/a> post and Ewan’s busy schedule of getting into schools (example on his blog<\/a> ) to do the podcasting business. I came away with the idea that the Modern Foreign Language teachers would really take this on.<\/p>\n
